Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.
PistonHeads: 1 discussions
0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Nice one andrewiz. I love 928's (although I've never owned one).
You can't go wrong with a 12 month OPC warranty but I'd be interested how much you paid for the car, and which OPC you got it from ?
Splendid; with so few miles and being a Channel Islander, it's presumably in the appropriate time warp condition?
Over to Le France, eh, for a spot of high velocity cylinder cleansing?
The people who developed the 928 did it whilst exposed to Wagner's Ring Cycle.
It is a car of the Gods. Make sure it has the optional retractive claxxon with original Third Reich remix featuring Ya-Kidd K (innit, fanx!), so that forays down the Bugelfugalstrasse at 165 mph can be accompanied by the requisite verbal volley...
Achtung! Schnell, schnell!
Hail.
Thanks for comments chaps - I'm dead chuffed with it. It's in great nick, built like the preverbial bank vault.
Stuart - cambelt appears not to have been changed since 1994 - is that a problem?

Thanks Stuart - I've bought a few cars from the OPC now, so I'll try and get it changed gratis. Failing that, I'll look elsewhere - are JM/JZ near Yorkshire?
any chance of some piccies ?
there is a nice marron/mauve ish 928 lives down the street from me. I must give the owner a wave next time I drive past in my 911.
I'm beginning to like the look of the 928. Anyone know if Porsche are going to make something similar again ?
Andrewiz congrats on your purchase sounds fantastic..
also looks like a lot of car for the money,I saw it on the porsche uk website @ JCT.
I have been looking for a similar colour & spec 968 and would have to pay the same money,makes the 928 look even more of a find.Enjoy it
A long time forum lurker, now making first post.....
I've just bought a 1988 928 S4 from an official Porsche dealer - 2 owners, 26250 miles, 12 month warranty, full Porsche history. 26k miles in 14 years! Car spent most of its life in Guernsey.
I've owned a 996 C2, and currently Boxster S, and build quality on 928, though seriously dated, puts them both to shame.
I'm well pleased with it - it'll make a great motorway work horse.
